Question

tan–1(x2 + y2) = a

Sum

Solution

Given that: tan–1(x2 + y2) = a

⇒ x2 + y2 = tan a.

Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x.

`"d"/"dx"(x^2 + y^2) = "d"/"dx"(tan "a")`

⇒ `2x + 2y * "dy"/"dx"` = 0

⇒ `2y * "dy"/"dx"` = – 2x

⇒ `"dy"/"dx" = (-2x)/(2y) = (-x)/y`

Hence, `"dy"/"dx" = (-x)/y`.
